Bee-eaters, and other migrants

A journey through an Alpujarran village

About the Book

This isn’t about a journey, or self-discovery, or homage to a disappearing past. Instead it is a portrait of the reality of living in a remote mountain village, and a tribute to the honourable men and women who continue the traditions of their forefathers as they slowly come to terms with the digital age. It is told in the form of a diary, or rather a chronicle, a collection of discreetly lyrical small moments which together exemplify the joys, complexities and rewards of life as a semi-outsider in an ageless community.
